Li Mu brought more than six times the income to the Cheng family.

In the past, because Cheng Yaojin couldn't do business, he had to follow others and rolled his eyes. This was the second thing. The key point was the feeling of being despised, which made Cheng Yaojin very unbearable.

Li Mu's appearance saved him from this embarrassing dilemma. The Cheng family no longer needed to look at anyone's face. Even because the business in the racecourse and polo games was too good, the two levels of reversals. The former arrogant family and nobles came to beg him, hoping to participate.

However, Cheng Yaojin is not such a easy-to-talk person. Although Li Mu told him that if he wanted to promote the racecourse and polo games quickly, he could attract local big families to join, Cheng Yaojin was not that good at it. Even if the development was slower, he hoped to take this industry as much as possible in the hands of the Cheng family.

This is also a helpless move, because he knew that none of his sons were good at managing finances. If other shareholders were introduced, it is very likely that after he died, the industry would be slowly seized by others.

It is precisely because of the conservative business strategy that the development of the racecourse and polo competition has not reached the expected progress. It should have made more money and occupied a larger market, and missed the best development period. Although the Cheng family's racecourse and polo competition are also very prosperous, imitators have appeared in other places. After all, there are no technical barriers for the racecourse and polo competition. Everything is there. As long as you spend money to buy tickets to watch a game, everything will be clear at a glance. When you go back to imitate, Cheng Yaojin will be out of reach no matter how arrogant Cheng Yaojin is.

Now, Cheng Yaojin encountered a problem that he could not solve.

His main competitors, the joint polo competition jointly organized by the Li family of Zhaojun, Li family of Longxi, and Zheng family of Xingyang, was listed in the Luoyang Trading Center earlier. Less than a month after the listing of United Polo, the stock price has doubled. The strong funds brought by United Polo are making great expansion at a speed that even a Cheng family can't catch up.

Cheng Yaojin beat his chest and stamped his feet. It was not that the Cheng family did not have the opportunity to go public. There were always opportunities, but Cheng Yaojin didn't want to go public. He didn't want to divide the shares. Moreover, before these three companies revealed their identities, Cheng Yaojin didn't know that the polo game scattered in the place, and it seemed that the complementary subordinates were organized by these three companies. When he found out, the people had submitted an application for listing. It was too late to intercept or do something.

Cheng Yaojin was so depressed that he was originally the genuine one, but now he has become a pirated version. The three major clans joined forces and were already eyeing them and were difficult to deal with. Now, after they went public, their stock price doubled, and they actually compared the capital of the Cheng family. With this increase and decrease, wouldn’t they watch them make things happen and tap the foundation of the Cheng family?

Cheng Yaojin was unwilling to give up, but he had no choice.

Don’t think that Cheng Yaojin is reckless. In fact, he is a real meticulous person. If he is facing a family that involves fundamental interests, everyone has to tell and divide it into one. But now facing three family members, the Cheng family is already in contact with nobles and family members. The relationship is very complicated. He does not have the courage of Li Mu, and dares to do whatever he wants to fight the five surnames and seven sects by one person.

Moreover, when Li Mu fought against the five surnames and seven sects alone, he did not rely on any reliance. With Li Shimin's support and recognized Mrs. Lu, he was equivalent to inheriting the power of Jisitang. If these two parties supported at the same time, Cheng Yaojin would have the confidence to fight against him alone.

The problem is that he didn't. So he could only endure this tone.

The evil way is to stop thinking about it. If you want to turn the tables, you have to untie the bell. You have to get up wherever you fall. Seeing that United Polo has made a lot of money, even if you worry, Cheng Yaojin couldn't sit still. The Cheng family recruited a lot of accounts and started to collect accounts and prepare for listing.

But listing cannot be successfully listed by clarifying the accounts. United Polo has already taken the first wave of dividends, and the Cheng family has lost the opportunity. Now that it is following the listing, it can only be liked by Dong Shi and thinking with his toes, and it is impossible to achieve the expected results.

Cheng Yaojin wanted to go public several times, but he couldn't finally make up his mind. He went to ask someone for advice, but the three companies had already established a relationship, and no one was willing to help Cheng Yaojin. In fact, it was not because of the fact that these three companies were so powerful. It was because Cheng Yaojin's previous behavior of eating alone had offended all the people. When you were prosperous, you couldn't do anything to you. Seeing your building collapse, you still didn't take any harm to the point?

Cheng Yaojin felt frustrated, there was no way. Cheng Yaojin remembered Li Mu. The situation was getting worse and worse. Cheng Yaojin had to write a letter and was about to ask Li Mu for advice.

As soon as the letter was finished, before I could send it out, I saw the butler running over with joy. When I saw Cheng Yaojin, I hurriedly said, "I have congratulated you to the grandfather. The old servant received the news that the marquis had set off and would return to Luoyang soon."

"Really?" Cheng Yaojin stared at the top of his eyes and stood up suddenly: "Is the news reliable?"

"The news is naturally reliable. Isn't it, because the Marquis is coming back. The stocks of Bashang winery have soared. Master, the part you hold has increased by 3,000 yuan."

"Hahahaha..." Cheng Yaojin laughed to the sky and tore the letters in his hand into pieces: "I will not perish you, you guys, when Li Mu comes back, I want you to look good!"

Cheng Yaojin was not worried at all, and Li Mu would go to help his opponent. Li Mu's attitude towards the family was always unhappy and it was impossible for him to take the initiative to help the family.

Suddenly he thought of something and frowned again.

This time, the matter is slightly different. In the past, the five surnames and seven sects all came out of six sects. Because the Li family in Longxi is not a worldly family, they rarely get involved in any business. Speaking of this, there is still a relationship.

The current royal family believes that they are from the Li family in Longxi. When Li Yuan ascended the throne and became emperor, he wanted to reward the Li family in Longxi. Logically speaking, this is a glorious thing. However, an accident that no one expected happened.

The clan leader of the Li family in Longxi actually refused Li Yuan's reward. He also said that the current royal family is not descendant of the Li family in Longxi, and there is no such branch in the genealogy. Li Yuan's face was beaten so hard that he was so angry.

Although Li Yuan has become the emperor, the matter of this clan cannot be decided by the emperor. Li Yuan really has no choice but to take the clan leader of the Li clan in Longxi, but he is the emperor after all. Don’t you refuse to recognize me? It doesn’t matter, I just need to admit you.

Li Yuan issued an order, saying that the royal family was the branch of the Li family in Longxi. The contemporary lord said that it was not because he was old and he didn't know Mixin. Perhaps Li Yuan had hit him privately, and the Li family in Longxi never said anything about the royal family that did not belong to the Li family in Longxi.

But from then on, the Li family in Longxi closed down the blockbusters in Guanzhong, and confiscated them. Everyone knew that this was the consequence of annoying the emperor.

The thousand-year-old clan cannot be defeated by closing a few industries. Although the business was locked up, the Li family in Longxi had their own way. The business in Guanzhong could not be done, so could the business in Longyou be done. Since the Wude period, the Li family in Longxi has developed a lot of business on the Silk Road. They still make money in the Western Regions. The original three major bandits in Longyou were strong and strong. There was no caravan that they dared not rob, but as long as they hung the banner of the Li family in Longxi, no one dared to move.

This is the crushing of strength. It is said that the Li family in Longxi raised eight thousand iron cavalry in captivity. But no one knew where the eight thousand iron cavalry were hidden, because all the people they had seen were dead.

The Li family in Longxi and the royal family seemed to have a tacit understanding. The transactions of the Li family in Longxi were not allowed to enter Guanzhong. However, to the west of Longyou, the royal family never interfered in the transactions of the Li family in Longxi.

So, why did the Li family in Longxi appear on the shareholder list of United Polo? This made Cheng Yaojin feel curious. According to the rules, this is not allowed.

He immediately ordered the shopkeeper Cheng Qian Chengda to investigate and received a reply soon.

It turned out that the shareholder of the Longxi Li family was actually irresponsible. Because the Longxi Li family did not participate in the operation, and even the Longxi Li family did not even invest. They just signed a horse supply contract with the Zheng family of Xingyang and the Li family of Zhaojun.

In other words, the horses used for joint polo were taken care of by the Li family in Longxi. Looking at the world, the only one who dares to make a promise was the Li family in Longxi. This business was allowed by the court, because the Tang Dynasty lacked horses, and any transaction that allowed horses to flow in was welcomed by the court.

So, why did the Li family in Longxi become a shareholder? That's because the Li family in Zhaojun and Zheng family in Xingyang do not have any money to pay the horses. So the three families agreed to take out some of the dry shares to the Li family in Longxi, and when the dividends reach the amount of debt, the Li family in Longxi will withdraw the shares. But anyone with discerning eyes knows that this is playing the edge. This is a tentative move of the Li family in Longxi. The money in Guanzhong is easy to make. If the royal family ignores it, it will be a tacit. It will be a disaster for the Li family in Longxi to withdraw its shares. This discovery makes Cheng Yaojin very happy. This is definitely one of the happiest things in recent days.

The Longxi Li family did not take the royal family seriously. If he went to the front of His Majesty to complain... Cheng Yaojin was so excited that he could not help but feel excited. But soon, he quickly calmed down like a basin of cold water poured on his head.

Can't sue!

There are three concerns. First, although the opponent is imitating and some are not following the rules. However, they are on the surface and do not use deceitful means. Everyone is also doing business and is comparing their abilities. But if they complain to themselves, wouldn’t they tell the people of the world that our Cheng family is not as good as them and cannot compare with them. They can only beg your Majesty and ask your Majesty to intervene?

Secondly, there has never been any official documents or notices, and it is explicitly prohibited by the Li family in Longxi from participating in the business in Guanzhong. Even if they sue, the reason will not be tenable at all.

Finally, Cheng Yaojin remembered that his eldest son Cheng Chumo is now working in the Dingxiang Protectorate. Dingxiang is located in the sphere of influence of the Li clan in Longxi. If a mortal hatred is formed, it is difficult to guarantee that the other party will not take revenge on Cheng Chumo while patrolling. For the Longxi Li clan in Longyou, this is simply a breeze.

Cheng Yaojin was so angry that his nostrils were swelling. In the end, he gave up. He shouldered the responsibility of guarding Chang'an City and could not leave at will. In order to contact Li Mu as soon as possible, Cheng Yaojin asked his five sons, plus the shopkeeper Cheng Qianda, to divide his troops into six groups to guard all the important roads leading to Luoyang City, and be sure to contact him as soon as possible before others contact Li Mu.

...

Li Mu returned to Luoyang this time to arrange the operation of Luoyang after Ma Zhou left. He had appointed Ma Zhou before, and valued Ma Zhou's calmness. As long as he explained things, Ma Zhou usually won't make mistakes. Such talents are really not easy to find, so Li Mu kept thinking along the way, who should replace Ma Zhou.

Before, he wanted Qin Huaidao to take over Ma Zhou's position, but now Qin Huaidao is in charge of the Yangzhou exchange, and he can't separate himself. After thinking about it, Li Mu couldn't find a choice. It was not until he almost arrived in Luoyang that a person's name emerged from his mind.

Wang Pu, this guy has been in Lantian for half a year, and Li Mu finally remembered him.

In fact, according to the friendship, Wang Pu and Li Mu have known each other for a long time. But Li Mu has never used him because of Wang Pu's background. He is inseparable from the Wang family in Taiyuan, and Li Mu has learned from Wang Gui that Wang Pu has received recognition from the elders of the Wang family in Taiyuan, and he is the next lord.

Therefore, Li Mu did not really want to reuse Wang Pu. The Wang family in Taiyuan, with the title of the world's number one family, enjoyed a large number of shares in the Tang Dynasty Mining and the Tang Dynasty's No. 1 cement factory, was already in the limelight. If they were allowed to occupy the power in Luoyang, the sign of the first family would be unshakable.

Ma Zhou is different. Ma Zhou has no background or foundation. No matter where he is placed, there is no need to worry about being too big. But now, there is indeed no more suitable candidate than Wang Pu. Li Mu couldn't help but sigh that there are still too few talented people around him. With more places to employ people, he can't make any more money.

After choosing a person, how to use it is still a question. In Li Mu's eyes, Wang Pu's ability to do things can only be quite good. He is not as experienced as Ma Zhou. Li Mu is because of the name of the Wang family in Taiyuan. Some things, if Wang Pu comes forward, will definitely be much easier to deal with.

However, Wang Pu is a member of the Wang family in Taiyuan after all, and he must be prepared first to avoid using his power for personal gain. Li Mu thought about it and decided to write a letter to Li Siwen, asking him to return to Luoyang to stay for half a year. Anyway, Li Xiaogong is in charge in Dingxiang, and he can't use anything there for the time being. Besides, his father-in-law Zhang Xun echoed in Gaochang.
